The Reason Behind The Color Palette Of Choice
For an abstract painting to be really appreciated by the audience it must possess some of the properties of real life. I don’t limit my color palette to 2 or 3 tints. I want my artwork to resemble in a subtle way the world we see outside.
The Soft And Hard Transitions Between Colors
Unlike the most of my paintings in “Color Wheel No.9” I use predominantly soft gradient transitions and less expressive brush strokes. The colors are the main focus and the patterns are more subtle than I usually prefer.
The Archival Properties Of The Abstract Painting
An artwork is a form of investment. It is also something that is passed from generation to generation. I prime my canvases with high quality Swedish paint.
It contains ceramic particles. This approach provides one of the main factors which assures that my paintings will last for hundreds of years.
The Horizontal Orientation Of My Canvases
Humans have cheekbones and eyebrows and they make the aspect ratio of our vision to be wider than taller. I want my artwork to resemble reality in a way. This is why I always prefer horizontal rather than vertically oriented paintings.
The Main Goal Of The Pigments Selected For My Artwork
Besides the appearance of my abstract canvases I always aim for their longevity. Some of the pigments in the artwork are Titanium White, Phthalo Blue (PB15:1), Phthalo Green,
Bismuth Vanadate Yellow (PY184 G), Bismuth Vanadate Orange (PO 83) and Primary Magenta (PV 19).
